I'd like to see IPv4 go away in ~3 years. Any faster would be too traumatic. I think 6 years is a perfectly reasonable time frame. I think if it takes 11 years it will be because of significant foot-dragging by some key organizations. I'm not convinced that foot-dragging is as likely as some people are, but, there's enough probability to provide some wiggle room in the numbers.
I expect that in ~3 years, we will see dual-stack and /64's handed out in conjunction with an IPv4 address as "common". The ipv6 zealots talking about anything but a /64 for end-site are talking about a "business class" service. Even with my static IPs at home, I have no need for more than a single /64 to be used in my wildest dreams. I could live with ~256 ips for the future. I consider my tech density "above-average". - Jared
